The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same,

To all whom it may concern:

marked thereon, to be a-full, clear, and exact descrip'-l tion of the same, and which said l part of this speeicatiomand represent inwings constitute Figure l, a side View, and in Figure 2, a top view. v

`This invention relates to an improvement in apparatus for the exercise and amusement of children, and consists in combining a spring-lever, to which the seat is applied, with a pair of rockers,.so as to obtain the combined movement and advantages of both. t

In order to the clear understanding of my invention, I 'will fully describe the same', as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

A A are the rockers, similar to those commonly used for rocking-horses.

`T o one end an arm, B, is fixed, to which a lever, C, is pivoted, the said lever bearingupona spring, D, the said'spring resting also upon the rockers.

To theI end of the lever a seat, E, is arranged, for the support of the child.

The child is placedupon the seat, and by springing up land down, causes the depression and rise of the lever, and at the same time the 'rocking of the whole, as denoted in broken lines, fig. 1.

For the purpose of 'adjusting' the elevation` of the i seat and elasticity of the spring, I provide the arm B with several perforations, as seen in fig. 1, to either of which the end of the'lever O -is attached, by passing a bolt therethrough. This would change the elevation of the seat, the spring remaining the same.

Therefore, to retain the same elevation, or nearly so, I arrange an adjusting-screw, a, forward of the arm, as seen in iig. 1, so that by the turning of the 'said screw inward, the lever will be depressed, or. vice versa.

Therefore, if it is desirable for a larger child to operate on the jumper, place the bolt through a lower hole in the arm B, and depress the `lever by the setscrew a. This will compress the spring so that it will support a greater weight, butii' for a. lighter weight, then 'vice versa. l

It will be-obvious that various constructions of seat for the support of the child may be applied, as a chair-seat or horse, and yet not change the general construction of apparatus.

` I do notwish to be understood as claiming broadly either the rocker or spring-bar, as such, I am aware, isnot new; but

What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is l `1. The combination of the lever C, provided with a suitable seat for the child, with the two rockers A and spling between the two, substantially as herein set ort 2. In combination with the above, the adjustingi arm B, with the set-screw a, as and for the purpose specified.
